High On A Hilltop - Joe South

Away from the noise and up above the mad rushin' crowd

There’s a place where a little guy can stand mighty tall and proud

And sometimes late, late, late in the evenin'

When there’s nobody else around

I can be found lookin' down on the town

High on a hilltop

There’s a half million people all scramblin' 'round down there below

Just a face in the crowd there I was just an hour ago

But now late, late, late in the evenin'

When the world’s got the best of me

Oh, and I got to be free that’s where I’ll be

High on a hilltop

High on a hilltop, baby

High on a hilltop

High on a hill top, oh yeah

I can find peace of mind in the shade of a big oak tree

And when it comes my time that’s where God’s gonna look for me

And everyday late, late, late in the evenin'

Let the rest of the world go by

And I won’t cry up next to the sky

High on a hilltop

High on a hilltop, baby

Why don’t you come along?

That’s where we belong

Yeah, yeah, way up high

You can take my hand

Walk this land, yeah

High on a hilltop

Drop what you’re doin', now

Meet me up there

Oh, where the air is rare

You can see everythin', yeah, yeah

High on a hilltop

High on a hilltop

High on a hilltop

High on a hilltop
